The wait is over – justice has a new battleground! The official trailer of Raid 2 is here, and it’s nothing short of a power-packed spectacle. Following the massive success of its predecessor (Raid), the sequel ups the ante, diving deep into the world of corruption, power, and high-stakes drama. Ajay Devgn returns in his iconic role as the Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik, taking on his most ruthless opponent, Dadabhai, starring Riteish Deshmukh.
Ajay Devgn locks horns with Riteish Deshmukh
The trailer teases a gripping narrative between the two actors; brimming with thrills and suspense, it leaves the audience craving for more. It unveils Ajay Devgn’s signature intensity which is both commanding and compelling along with Riteish Deshmukh’s promising new avatar as an influential politician. Stepping into the shoes of a power-hungry antagonist, he oozes charm and cruelty in equal measure, making him the perfect nemesis to Devgn’s unshakable lawman.
This time, the director has apparently turned to a real-life raid case in Uttar Pradesh for inspiration. “The story has its roots in a case that saw a UP politician-businessman being accused of tax evasion of over R100 crore,” a source informed earlier.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s cameo
The trailer also offered a glimpse of the special song featuring Tamannaah Bhatia. The actor has been on a high since her dance number, Aaj Ki Raat, from Stree 2 (2024), became wildly popular. Can we expect another chartbuster from her? An insider had told Mid-day, “The team has designed an opulent set, inspired by the underground club scene—think shimmering lights, bold colour palettes, and strobe effect. It’s a glamorous track with Tamannaah sporting a sequinned ensemble and displaying her dancing prowess, while Honey Singh matches her with his signature swag.”
